In an inn in Jiangdu, something almost exactly like the Huainan County Guard's Mansion is happening.

The young man stood behind the case with his hands behind his back, and the pen moved like a snake, and the thin gold with a strong character appeared vividly on the paper.About a quarter of an hour later, the book was turned to the end, and Qi Changting carefully dried the ink and folded it carefully.

"Send it to Dongdu urgently in eight hundred miles." Qi Changting looked up at He Cheng, and said seriously: "Don't transfer to the transfer department, just hand it over to the teacher, just say that it is about tens of thousands of people in Huainan, let him face the saint."

"Yes." He Cheng took the booklet and walked out, and suddenly Qi Changting's voice came from behind him.

"He Cheng, tell me, would she know my real identity, and that's why she tried every means to borrow money from the counter instead of other ways?"

"?" He Cheng didn't understand the connection between these two things, so he paused.

But Qi Changting didn't need He Cheng's answer either.

The young man took a deep breath, "Forget it, maybe I was thinking too much, you go."

He Chengying was, and left lightly.

Qi Changting picked up the folding fan with his right hand and tapped it on the phalanx.

His true identity is a prince, not a Beijing merchant, which means that he needs the approval of the Ministry of Households to repay the money, so the way he borrows money and the urgency of repaying the money will directly affect whether the Ministry of Households can give him the silver taels.

"Probably, it's really just a coincidence." The boy murmured.

How could his identity as the prince and the official of the imperial court be discovered by a little girl who only met him a few times?

The urgent letter of eight hundred miles, even if it is thousands of miles away in Dongdu, is only a two-day journey.

In the majestic palace city, in the Chaowu Hall where the emperor privately summoned his courtiers to discuss matters, the folds were presented on the case on ebony trays.

After the case, a man was wearing a black and gold crown suit, with his right hand on his knee, leaning loosely on the dragon chair, the jade handle shaking on his forehead, covering his expression.

"Huang Aiqing," the person at the top seemed to be awake, and forced himself to speak, "You are the Minister of the Household Department, tell me, which prince should I use this disaster relief money first?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think it is more appropriate for His Majesty to use it." Huang Sheng bowed his hands and replied loudly, "As the largest grain merchant in Jiangdu, the Yan family was coerced by the former governor of Jiangdu to stir up grain prices. His Majesty only has the opportunity to prove his innocence only when he is aware of the details."

"After that, the Yan family not only voluntarily handed in the grain stored by the former Jiangdu county guard, but also moved all the grain stored in their own warehouse, and used it all for disaster relief in the three west counties of Huainan. It’s going to chill the hearts of these volunteers.”

After Huang Shangshu finished speaking, he bowed again. His words were sincere and touching.

However, Emperor Huisheng did not make a sound.

Huang Sheng was a little strange, their emperor was a little incompetent to be honest, except for the establishment of a crown prince, he had a big idea, and his daily affairs were all dependent on his ministers, and the most common words every day were "what Ai Qing said" and "I will rely on Ai Qing So, what happened today?

He couldn't help raising his eyes to take a sneak peek, and seeing Emperor Huisheng picked up the booklet and looked through it again.

But this discount.

Huang Sheng was stunned suddenly, looking at the cover, it seemed that Emperor Huisheng was not presenting the paper he was reading.

A trace of uneasiness gradually emerged in his heart.

His Highness attached a letter to him in the appropriation letter, saying that Qi Changting was about to make a move again, and asked him to press Qi Changting so hard that he couldn't turn over and lift his head in terms of money and food.

But the third prince, who has been peaceful for so many years, suddenly made a move, can he really suppress it casually?

Snapped!

A soft sound exploded in front of him, making Huang Sheng tremble in shock, and quickly knelt down.

Taking a closer look, the book that Emperor Huisheng was reading was thrown in front of him, and the words "Qi Changting" on the signature were particularly eye-catching.

Emperor Huisheng didn't say a word, Huang Sheng could only pick up the notebook tremblingly, and looked at it at a glance.

"This, this..." He widened his eyes.

Didn't Qi Changting owe money to the grain merchant? !Why did it become the money of the counter shop!

If the money is owed to the grain merchants, the amount shared by each grain merchant will not be too large, and a few months in arrears will not have much impact except to discredit Qi Changting, but the cabinet workshop is related to the economy and trade of the entire Jiangdu and even Huainan. But not yet, at least half of the merchants in Huainan will suffer irreparable losses, and even other merchants who have business dealings with these merchants may also suffer unwarranted disasters.

At that time, Qi Changting will be unlucky, but the influence will be too great, and the credibility of the court will be completely ruined.

No matter how much Huang Sheng belongs to Qi Jingmin, no matter how much the household department is in Qi Jingmin's hands, it is impossible for him to say that he will pay back the money to Yan's family first.

"Your Majesty, calm down! This minister made a conclusion without understanding the situation clearly, this money," Huang Sheng's back was soaked in cold sweat, and he gritted his teeth hard.

"This money should be used by the Third Highness!"

While the DPRK and China are competing for disaster relief funds, Huainan is still lightly raining.

The flood disaster has paid off, and the grain market in Jiangdu has become increasingly hot. Not only has the price of brown rice remained high, but even japonica rice has started to be purchased intermittently.

The grain merchants counted their money happily, but the Yan family, the largest grain merchant in Jiangdu in the past, was in bleak condition.

In the meeting hall, a middle-aged man with a beard sat at the top, besides another middle-aged man, there was a younger son, and everyone's faces were ugly.

Snapped!

The sound of the teacup shattering resounded down the hall, and the splashed tea stained the pant legs of Yan's second child.

Elder Yan's complexion turned darker, and he snorted coldly, "Brother was very majestic when he insisted on cooperating with the county guard, but now he is in a hurry, so he took it out on me."

Master Yan was so angry that he almost turned his back, and the young man sitting at the bottom suddenly said, "Second Uncle, do you have the nerve to say that?"

Yan Tong sneered and said: "At the beginning, my father said that the imperial envoy who claimed to be a nobleman in Beijing was a cannibal, and you insisted on seeking skins from tigers, handing over the county guard's private stockpile of food, and using it at home as an emergency. All the stored food was given to that man.”

"Right now, people are saying lightly, saying that the disaster relief funds from the court will not arrive, and our family will not even be able to pay the servants' wages!"

"you!"

"Okay, what are you arguing about!" Master Yan shouted coldly, stopping the unspoken argument of Yan's second son, "Everyone is responsible for the current situation. The focus now is how to break the situation, not to blame the conference!"

Speaking of breaking the game, the hall became quiet again, so quiet that it was hopeless.

"Cough." Suddenly, Yan Tong coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "Actually, the boy has a plan."

Yan Tong raised his eyes, glanced at the two elders, and said slowly: "Isn't the Bai family still in Jiangdu? They also have a strong family background. If I marry that woman, the Bai family will be like grasshoppers on the same boat as us." .”

"It's a joke." Yan Lao Er said with a sarcasm, "How could they marry us now that they can't avoid us?"

"Not always."

Yan Tong glanced at Yan Laoer, with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"To put it bluntly, our merits outweigh our demerits. Outsiders don't know that the Yan family's granary is empty. As long as you take out the handwritten letter that the nobleman promised to compensate, the old man of the Bai family will take the bait."
